Marc Lipschultz, co-CEO of Blue Owl Capital Inc., recently discussed the distinction between private and public markets on Bloomberg TV.
Despite industry calls for increased liquidity in the private market sector, Lipschultz emphasized the importance of private markets serving a specific purpose and being "private for a reason."
He acknowledged that the two markets are becoming more closely connected but stated that Blue Owl is not focused on creating products to facilitate easier movement between them. This reflects the company's commitment to preserving the unique characteristics of private investments in a changing market landscape.
